2/12 AP: Final momentum lab day

OK, unless I get hit by a truck, I will be back on Thursday.

Today, please work together to help all students complete their data collection and analysis Data analysis should include:

  • Description of each type of collision/explosion you created.
  • A list of the percent momentum and percent kinetic energy lost during each event.
    • Hint: Once you get your data entered into your spreadsheet, you should be able to calculate momentum and kinetic energy from the same cells for each event.
    • This is where consistency in your layout makes formula (equation) writing easy. Once you write the formula, just copy/paste to the needed cells.
  • Calculate the average momentum and kinetic energy lost for all your events.

Remember to submit your spreadsheets below. I’m still missing a few.
